But I doubt it, because it looks like the kind of game that will eat up 2.6 gigabites of virtual memory in seconds...

Bumpity bump-bump, bumpity bump-bump, look at this thread go...Seriously, I wanted to ask if anyone can find a firm date for its release. The best I can find is "More information about the game will be revealed at E3 on May 10 to 12, 2006" from the Wikipedia article. Anything else?
I'm DYING out here!

Is there a definte end to the game? Or do you just mess aurond on Space mode when there.
They refer to it as a T-shaped game. First you go through an elaborate tutotrial and in the galactic phase you can play in a myriad of ways: create a complete ecosystem on a planet or conquer as large part of cosmos as possible or collect as many different species and make a zoo planet or ... etc etc.
I too am very exited by this game, I love how elegantly simple the idea is and the way that the editors are part of the game itself. I look forward to creating the creatures and watching the game render and animate them for me.

i share you enthusiasm about this game siler knight, i am dying after finding all info on it in a day. i think i can say quite easily that i will buy this game instantly.
you dont get the Internet species upload thing. when a species is downloaded on your computer from another computer, you only get the DNA, not it's culture. so if somebody made a creature well suited for combat, but not with a big brain, they could play well with it as a planet conquering monster, but if the AI on your computer developed a more scientific culture with the species it would be a failure due to it's lack of brainpower.
Also it would be impossible for you to be totally destroyed by another species since your computer would download for a balanced enviroment, so if a super powerful creature was downloaded to your game, it's because you have a super powerful one too.

He ate my brain too! (or what was left of it

The game probably (hopefully) isn't simple, but the idea to populate it with species built by other players but using the same 'buiding blocks', is. These parameters will be the spore equivalent of DNA, should make the population endlessly diverse, maybe even more so than life as we know it, since the spore-DNA will stored in the DB quasi forever, giving a species in spore chances it doesn't have in RL, where it's fly-or-die.Lord_Iggy said:

I would think that forums connected to the game's developers in some way would have the best chance to do it. Look for some forums centered on it.PlutonianEmpire said:

I'm worried about the player interaction, because it doesn't seem like there is a single player version. At the end of the game he's talking about how this is some other player's planet, and then he goes ahead and explodes it. If this IS an online game, it'll be full of annoying griefers who like nothing more than to run around blowing up other planets. If there truly is a standalone single player version, then it should be fun.

It's not an online game, it just uses the internet to find raw data to fill your universe with. That planet was "Another player's" in the sense that the creatures on it were designed by someone else, then unploded to the internet, then downloaded by Will's copy of the program and put into play. The original was completely untouched by the events in the presentation.
